Who cares about downloading on Android when we have LimeWire?!
Wow, those poll results. It's strange. I suppose XenoBot members are a horrible pool of individuals to collect data from. According to several sources, the iPhone is still the most popular phone in the world, with more than 500 million sold (worldwide) as of June 2014 (all iPhone models up to 5C & 5S).
The iPhone 6 & 6 Plus are expected to be the most sold iPhone's yet (http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/20/7...-2014-earnings). In one quarter, they sold nearly 40 million phones. That's approximately 3 months.

Apple said it sold 39.2 million phones, up big from the 33.8 million iPhones it sold during the same quarter last year.
@J.Dre It isn't the fact that we are bad for data collections. It's the fact that a large portion of this community isn't mind walking zombies that have to have the most over priced phone on the market. Every time I see the Android commercial on tv it makes me laugh because it's so true.

But then again, it has been universally decided among XenoBot mods that you are retarded, so your conclusion actually seems to be only mildly ridiculous.
@J.Dre You should probably take anything you read The Verge with a lump of salt.
They're the most biased tech site I've ever been to, they're on the verge of choking on Apple's dick.

Honestly, though, I find biotechnology and general utility funds to have the best returns. I'm gaining around 20% annually with this strategy.
Wow, so offensive. Damn... What did I ever do to you?Quote:

Yeah, after reading some other sources online, I found they are not reporting entirely accurate information. As in, they're only reporting one side of the story.Quote:

Considering Apple makes up more than half of that (iPhone's alone) is very impressive, to say the least.Code:Apple
It is interesting, though, to see how many people on XenoBot dislike Apple or refuse to purchase Apple.

Hardware isn't the discussion here, it's software. and if you try to argue that hardware is part of the iPhone, then that's even worse, as most of the iPhone hardware is made by Samsung. Including the flagship "retina" displays.
